She resides in Chattia village of Chandikhole district in Odisha.She lives a modest mud house. She and her husband had just finished eating when I went to visit her. Her husband owns a grocery shop. She has two daughters and a son all of them are married. "My son works as a medical representative. He also takes care of the grocery shop in order to increase family income.I am proud of him. He doesn't think that any work is small.Despite studying so much he still works in the grocery shop. " I could see her eyes glowing with pride as she said so. She has a 2-year-old granddaughter, who was playing at that point of time. The solar light has proved to be quite helpful since there are frequent prolonged power cuts especially in the evening in that area. They also charge their mobile phones using the solar panel. The solar light helps her to complete the household chores after dusk. It is also helpful when there is a power cut, it is used in her grocery shop.These solar lanterns have been of surmounting help to them as they save loads of money due to the huge electricity bills. Furthermore, the area experiences frequent power-cuts of prolonged duration which would have otherwise left them in complete darkness. Thereby, the energy loan has helped her entire family in their fight against darkness.
